Oncology (Cancer)

Brian Gill, M.D., a neurosurgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, talks about a new clinical trial evaluating a device that can temporarily open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to more effectively treat glioblastoma. Dr. Gill explains how this new sonication device uses focused ultrasound to temporarily disrupt the BBB in order to administer chemotherapy directly into the tumor bed. The trial is building on promising results from phase 1 and phase 2 trials, which demonstrated safety and efficacy, and the potential to enhance quality of life for patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
